Edhesive and UT-Austin are partnering so that AP Computer Science Principles is available to every high school.

Computer science for all

Developed by the UTeach Institute at University of Texas at Austin, AP Computer Science Principles offers a high-level introduction to computer science that is applicable to students in all disciplines. It revolves around seven key ideas: creativity, abstraction, algorithms, data and information, the internet, programming and global impact. Learn more about our partnership here.

Highlights of the course:

Endorsed by the College Board and fully aligned to the College Board’s AP Computer Science Principles framework.

Project-based curriculum designed to promote student engagement and problem solving.

Includes online teacher training materials with week-by-week and lesson-by-lesson guides.

Any teacher can lead this course. No prior computer science experience is needed.

Designed to engage high school students from diverse background and those who are new to computing.

“Computer science is the study of problem solving. A computer scientist views a
computer the way an astronomer views a telescope. It’s a way to get at what
you’re really interested in studying.”

Mehran Sahami, Stanford Professor

Computer science is more than just coding.

Computer science is about thinking how best to solve a challenging problem and having the imagination to see the world differently. Taking this course will leave students with a love of learning and an appreciation for problem solving that will empower them in a variety of fields—from biology to economics to literature.
